Class: DS 501 Intro to Textile Design
Major: Textile Design
This goal of this project was to combine two fabric manipulation techniques on a single yardage. The two techniques are yo-yos and smocking. Yo-yos are often used in a crafty setting, paired with a calico print and placed on a DIY accessory or home furnishing. The goal of this wall hanging was to take a commonly used craft technique and transform it into something elegant and artistic. The soft fabrics paired with various smocking techniques attempt to soften the overall look. Additionally, the shape repetition and size variation serve to add interest and movement to the piece.
